Well I thought I was going to die tonight.

So were at party, my ride left without me knowing. So I was asking who was sober who could give me and my friend a ride. One kid said he would and I was down to give him gas money.

So he agreed and we proceed and I tell him "Hey don't speed I can't get another m.i.c. (minor in consumption). He says “I have never been in a car wreck". So we pull on to a major road and he takes off (it’s a civic and he thinks it's a F1 because of the turbo he has). So i'm crammed in the back of this civic and were doing 70 in a 40 approaching the freeway.

He does a 90 degree turn going 50; tires are squealing and were off. He turns down the music and announces he is not sober but wanted to drive because he was bored.

We get on US-50 doing about 90 in a 65. We approach an onramp that merges on to Interstate 10. Were doing now 100mph and the speed advisory is 40 mph.

Doing 100mph isn't bad enough alone at 2am but passes a car on the shoulder while on the onramp. We successfully pass the car with minor horn blasts from the car and proceed down I-10. We hit 120mph for about 5 miles with his fart can exhaust that can be heard miles away. He pulls off on my exit and says “were stopping at del taco". We pull into the parking lot, he pulls the e-brake and does a 180. We stop and then pull into the drive through. Order our food and pull back into the parking lot. I see one of my friends in another vehicle, hoped out and asked if they could drive me home.

I have ridden with crazy drivers but not this crazy. I was honestly in fear of my life. Especially in a Honda Civic. I now know to trust anyone other then my good friends to drive me home. (We ALWAYS have a DD for the night). Sorry for the multiple paragraphs but I thought it would be better to have to many then not enough. Share your stories if you have any.

I hate being driven around by drunk drivers.  It's freaking nerve racking.

civics have horrible high-speed crash ratings.  A good friend of mine was killed by a head on collision going 50mph in a civic.  Completely demolished his ride.  It was a bad deal.  So the impact speed was about 50 and 50mph.  So that's about equal to 100mph, with TWO crumple zones.  Just think what would have happened at 120mph hitting something that wasn't so gentle than another car.

I hate kids like that.  Showing off in their "upped" cars and driving insanely bad.  and i've said it before and i'll say it again...  FWD Sucks.

^^^the problem with todays "tuners" are all they want is a nice car to attract woman.  The pride is non-existent.  You can tell, too, because they put on tacky "mods" such as stupid body kits, wings, and fart mufflers, which i refer to as Goatse mufflers, because it honestly reminds me of goatse.  Just imagine that.  Every single fart muffler, seeing goatse....  I hate them.

100 MPH is MONSTER closing speed. It's downright ordinary for a car to be in little pieces after something like that. They're lucky no one was seriously hurt...

As for the "FWD sucks" comment, I have a 4-door front wheel drive that's likely to outperform (in every category) whatever you're driving... AND it's fantastic in snow and ice.

Seriously - "FWD sucks" is only true if you are a dragracer.  For most real driving, front wheel drive is excellent stuff.
